real saxophonist: “They were nice, they were gentlemen, they dressed well, bought her whatever she wanted, and she didn’t have to worry about them putting the moves on her.”
Your mom is certainly entitled to her opinion, but it’s possible for heterosexuals to act as nice gentlemen. I’m a happily married Christian, but if I was single, I wouldn’t put the moves on my date. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be sexually attracted to her of course. It just means I want to live a life that is pleasing to my Lord. I can’t possibly be the only man like this. In fact, I know many of my fellow Christians (and even unbelievers!) who want to be better than animals driven by base instinct.
There happened to be a heterosexual gentleman in her life at the time. A LT (j.g.) training for Utah Beach. My dad. But if my mom, at home, wanted someone to go to the movies with, she didn't have to worry.
Sorry, should have put all that in my first post.
